Comment 7 for bug 486695

The above mentioned problem does also apply to my machine, also an Acer TravelMate 7730. I noticed that starting a virtual machine in VirtualBox results in the appearance of the battery-monitor. On the other hand the Powermonitor is still not working like it should because when I disconnect the AC-current the computer does not switch to the Powersave profile, which is configured by default. The computers keeps running is the Performance profile even when the AC is disconnected. Both the 'acpi -V' output and the Powermonitor notice the disconnected AC but no further action is taken.
